The government has reaffirmed its commitment towards Competency-Based Education (CBE), describing it as a transformative model central to the country's development agenda.
Speaking during the launch at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), Education CS Julius Migos Ogamba declared that CBE, also referred to as Elimu Thabiti, was the foundation of an inclusive, skills-based education system designed to prepare learners for the realities of the 21st century. "Behind every education reform is a child whose dreams depend on it.
We are all in this together," said Ogamba.
The CS also emphasized that the CBE model is rooted in grassroots consultation and reflects the voices of communities across the country. "Mathematics will now be compulsory across all senior secondary school pathways," said the CS, adding that the technical team will work closely with the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development to guide its implementation.
